Description
Every genre has its own unique signatures that readers come to expect, known as voice and tone. These elements make it possible to identify the genre within a few pages and often reflect the personality, mood and spirit of your characters and your themes. Nailing your novel (or memoir’s) voice and tone will not only make sure you’re meeting readers’ expectations, and increases your chance of publication.
